Re: How would I count number of nodes in linked list?

How, conceptually, should I think of approaching this?

Have you ever been in one of those "mystery tour" type competitions where you get instructions via a clue which lead you to the location of the next clue. Great fun especially if the nodes you are led to are pubs about the place.

Now it's a relatively simple matter to count the number of places you visit as you follow the clues. If you stick to orange juice.
